Hello, I haven't been able to figure out how to change the version number that is displayed when you enter the options screen. I've looked for it in the various .big files but was unsuccessful. How do I change them? And is it the same for Generals and Zero Hour?

Pretty good question there.

I'd say it's referenced to in game.dat since they've updated it for every patch. Probably is in hexadecimal format ...

I'm sure Deezire changed it in his mod...

I found this in his lotr.str

version:format2
"Extended Edition Version %d.%02d"
END

version:format3
"Version %d.%02d.%d"
END

version:format4
"%d.%02d.%d Build %d %c%c"
END

whereas the vanilla game says

Version:Format2
"Version %d.%02d"
END

Version:BuildTime
"%ls %ls"
END

Version:BuildMachine
"Build machine: %ls"
END

Nice find m@tt, but the actual version number is still stored in game.dat

Though you could hard reference to it in lotr.str ... I guess so at least.
